Err why not. genuinely puzzled by that one. ???
Yeah I mainly come on here to give shit advice and nick ideas.
I thought Roodeyes Stuntman sketch was funnier, but that only got one reply.
There's no accounting for taste.

I never got that impression in fact a lot of people appreciate the advice that you give.

I don't know whether there are any other successful professional script writers/authors regularly posting here, but I'm often amazed that the Pearson guy has the time and cheerful willingness to offer advice. As plenty of writers are cranky.

I don't think the number of replies is an indicator of how good it is; remember the Back to School thread?

James Cotter is a busy guy, but I eagerly look forward to his next work posted in Critique.

The site is great, and anyone can offer advice whether they know what they are talking about or not, and can be as cheerful as they like.
That's the good thing about it, it's an equal playing field.

It will be an event for sure.

It's a funny old world.

He's currently working on a documentary of Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, John Cleese, Kenny Everett and others.

I knew you were a decent type (at heart).
It's true.

Equally, a good sketch will sometimes get bad reviews simply because people dislike the author personally or are jealous of his/her talent.

I've seen examples of the former but none of the latter. As far as I know good stuff gets called good stuff in Critique, pretty universally.

Not really seen that. Perhaps people can be more inclined to 'work' with the writer more in seeing the funny if they like their work and have confidence in them, but mostly the feedback strikes me as attempting to be constructive, and I can't see anyone praising a sketch just to suck up. Similarly I have never known anyone ganged up on in Critique. (Well except James, and that is just tough love.)
I had intended to post something similar to Dolly before reading her post. YHWB.
